What's important

The blue sky edged with pink at its horizon.

The smell of woodsmoke when I step outside to walk the dog.

The dog.

The tangle of yellow chrysanthemums in the yard of the house at the corner.

This house.

The last mow of the lawn.

The children next door who know me as their neighbor.

Coffee.

Unsown squash growing out of compost.

Forgiveness.

The call before sleep.

Sleep.
